There's a little house, on a perfect little hill Just short of a fairytale There's a little child with a million ways to feel Caught up in a hurricane Paper-thin walls Angry words from down the hall Something changed then I think about him every now and again Now there's a ghost in the back of this room And I don't like it I fall asleep with my covers pulled up And try to fight it I gotta say, it's hard to be brave When you're alone in the dark I told myself that I wouldn't be scared But I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake I'm still having nightmares) Never did I think I'd be coming back around Digging up old memories Always used to be the one to let it go Kept my fears in a suitcase I locked them away In a place I wouldn't find They still haunt me I think about it every now and again Now there's a ghost in the back of this room And I don't like it I fall asleep with my covers pulled up And try to fight it I gotta say, it's hard to be brave When you're alone in the dark I told myself that I wouldn't be scared But I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake I'm still having nightmares) (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) Now there's a ghost in the back of this room And I don't like it I fall asleep with my covers pulled up And try to fight it Now there's a ghost in the back of this room And I don't like it I fall asleep with my covers pulled up And try to fight it I gotta say, it's hard to be brave When you're alone in the dark I told myself that I wouldn't be scared But I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake) I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake I'm still having nightmares) I gotta say, it's hard to be brave When you're alone in the dark (alone in the dark) I told myself that I wouldn't be scared But I'm still having nightmares (I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake)
